The theory of situational management and the practice of its implementation for the Basic Modeling Complex of the security and defense sector.

Abstract

The article is focused on the principles of situational management, situational centers in management systems, the legal basis of the creation and functioning of the system of public authorities’ situational centers. The paper addresses the following issues of the theory of the security and defense sector situational management construction (SDC): foundations, means and technologies of situational management, the necessity to use situational centers (SC) in management, the concept of the creation of a SCs network, features typical for the SC of public authorities of the security and defense sector. The practice of situational management creation is shown on the example of the Basic Modeling Complex (BMC). The paper describes the requirements and decisions regarding the organizational and functional structures that were taken into account when creating the complex. The features of the creation of the general structure of the BMC and the composition of the set of means for its automation have been analyzed, and «Assessment of risks and threats to the security and defense sector» and «Support for the work and interaction of officials of situational centers in decision-making» models have been described. The structure and mathematical methods used for the operation of models have been revealed. To sum up, the use of methods and systems of situational management, which combine technologies to support decision-making, storage, processing, concentrated display and presentation of information, radically changes the principles of analysis, discussion and solution of large-scale and complex management problems. SCs of state authorities of Ukraine, the creation of which has recently intensified, should be integrated into a united network of the SCs of the SDS. The requirements for the integration, including requirements at the level of information exchange, must be taken into account.
